2.5.EXPLANATORY NOTES

Although one of the criteria of compiling a WSP is to cover all employees, this does not mean training activities have to be planned for every employee in the year period.
The strategic business priorities in B.2 refers to the interventions needed to ensure the development of the business and all the employees. In detailing your strategic priorities, please pay particular attention to the following:

(a)Linking strategic skills priorities to strategic business priorities of the company

(b)Link the WSP to business and employment equity plans.

The beneficiaries in B.2 should be indicated as total numbers of employees.
B.3 expects a detailed breakdown of the same beneficiaries by race, gender and disability. The number of disabled beneficiaries can be indicated under the column total.
Companies may copy form B.3 (optional) and submit it indicating the number of learning interventions (training courses) per occupational group.
In some instances this planning information may be more insightful and could be used as a reliable source for reporting on the planning of learning interventions – with particular reference to indicating efforts of employment equity planning in the designated groups.
Occupations that my be specific to the organisation, should be indicated under the relevant Occupational Group. “Other” should only be used in relation to one of the Occupational Groups indicated. For example:

Craft and Related Workers / Shopfitters
Bakers
Butchers
Other Craft and Related Workers

Additional tables relevant to B.1 to B.3 detailing skill classifications specific to organisations or sectors should be attached.
Tables B.1 to B.3 should serve as summaries of skills development activities as planned.
This document should be the result of meaningful interaction between employers and employees and where applicable this should take place through the training committees or union management structures.
Should the space provided not be sufficient, please attach referenced Annexures.
